A massive warehouse in Laurel, Maryland, is being transformed into a high-tech film and TV production facility that company and county leaders said will make the area a magnet for major film, commercial and streaming projects.
“Welcome to the future of filmmaking in Maryland,” Revolution VP Studios co-founder Zach Guerra said at an event Thursday. “When we open our doors this October, our VP studios will be the most technologically advanced virtual production studio facility in the world.

Prince George’s County Executive Aisha Braveboy was on hand to celebrate the project.
“Hollywood’s going to be worried about folks wanting to come here,” she said. “We are actively positioning Prince George’s County as a leading center of technology, innovation, and entertainment.”
